¡@CHANGCHUN, July 2(Xinhuanet)-- A destructive rainstorm has forced more than 1,500 people to evacuate in northeast China's Jilin Province since Thursday, but no death or injury has been reported.

Torrential rain hit the city of Jilin between Thursday morning and Friday afternoon, affecting more than 1,500 villagers in three outlying townships, said officials with the local flood control headquarters.

More than 100 officials and police officers joined the rescue operation to relocate the villagers to safety.

The three largest reservoirs in the province, Shitoukoumen, Xingxingshao and Liangjiashan, began to sluice flood water on Saturday as local rivers reported the first flood crest in this flood season.

On Saturday, the average daily rainfall topped 50 millimeters at 42 monitoring stations in the province. Enditem
